As a new maintainer task from Moritz Muehlenhoff I'm aiming to get the
upstream unmaintained and security prone lesstif1 removed from Debian.
Lesstif1 is superseded by lesstif2.
The 22 affected packages are as follows:
clustalx
xtel
xsol
xmpi
xmcd
twpsk
twclock
stardic
sqsh
sciplot1
plan
njplot
ncbi-tools-x11
libvibrant6
libinventor0
lesstif-dev
inventor-demo
inventor-clients
imaze-lesstif
geomview
elk
electric
The transition for packages is to instead build against lesstif2-dev.
I've already looked into a couple of affected packages and the
transition should be straightforward.
I've let lesstif1 maintainer Sam Hocevar know last week. Next I hope to
announce the transition on debian-devel and file bugs. I plan to NMU
several of these packages.
Best wishes,
